Is there any way to disable a computer's screensaver when a flash program is running?
It's for a program that I run locally (converted .swf to .exe).
The program is also used on other computers so changing stuff in the registry or something like that isn't really what I'm looking for.
I tryed changing mouseX but it's read-only..
Is it possible to get computer name where the flash program is running? Not on the website, the swf will be run directly on the PC.

View 0 RepliesI was asked to create a screensaver capable to run on both win and mac. I am ActionScript developer, so I prefer to solve this using Flash/SWF. I know this is possible using several tools:Projectors such as Zinc or SWF Studio (os independent, $$$)Converters creating screensavers that use the Flash Player (one converter per os necessary, requires Flash Player on user machine, freeware)Adobe Air created screensavers (os independent, requires Air on user machine, no costs)I do not have control over the machines the screensaver will run. So everything needs to be simple and safe. I would go for option 2, but I am not sure if the tools I discovered are reliable.What tool you recommend to create the screensaver descibed using existing SWF files?Is there another (single) tool to create the screensaver without using Flash/AS/SWF?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking into ways to squeeze performance out of a flash installation.The installation has a huge stage size, 2800px x 2100px, is on a high spec machine, but I'm experiencing low frame rates.I'm wondering what the optimal set up is for a machine running this? Would flash prefer it if the system was set to optimise for background processes etc?
View 2 RepliesPlease provide the feature to disable the system screensaver & power saving features while a video object is currently playing a video. I get this request all the time when developing video players and now that the netflix player provides this feature it is becoming a must have in the online video market. If you know other solution which does not require .net, silverlight , or any other browser plugin besides flash please let me know.
View 1 RepliesI use Flash to develop a movie that runs when a user installs a new version of my companies software, and allows the user to access the user documentation and software installations at the click of a button. I use ActionScript to control the flow of the movie based on radio buttons that the user selects so that they are only provided with information relevant to them.I have been asked if Flash can determine whether a program is installed on the user's computer which can then be used to determine the flow of the movie.

I have found little to no flash to C++ documentation, let alone Flash to C++ over the internet. What I want to do: -Have flash send a string (or number) from a website to a server running a C++ program -The C++ program will receive the data and do something with it -After that, the C++ program would send back a response -Flash would then accept the response My goal is to make a simple MMO, but I can't start it without a server program to handle the players. I don't need a super-complicated example, just something simple, kinda secure and coded in AS3 and C++.
View 0 RepliesWhat is the fastest way for a Adobe AIR program program to index all images on a users' computer? Using Open Source ActionScript-3, MXML Libs and classes.
Fastest - Same pc configuration, different time (seconds) To index - get a list of absolute links (like c://bla-bla/file ) and save them into file (index.txt) All images (like JPEGs, PNGs)

I want to distribute an SWF file to be run on computers, not the internet.However, I want to be able to access the internet through a link controlled by a button.This used to work, now I get a security warning telling me I need to change the settings on my computer.For obvious reasons I don't want to make every person who runs the swf file to have to do that!Under Windows I can create an EXE file that does not create the security warning, but on the Mac that won't help.

Is this possible to accomplish in AIR? Im using the latest version (2.6)
I have this code:
ActionScript Code:
for (var j:int = 0; j < 20; j++){
if (values==j){
var "ingredient"+j:"Ingredient"+j = new "Ingredient"+j();

it doesn't work for what are probably obvious reasons but I show it to give you an idea of what I'm trying to do which is change the name of the variables while the program is running.
I would like to be able to operate a scanner from my AIR application. Since there's no support for this natively, I'm trying to use the NativeProcess class to start a jar file that can run the scanner. The Java code is using the JTwain library to operate the scanner. The Java application runs fine by itself, and the AIR application can start and communicate with the Java application. The problem seems to be that any time I attempt to use a function from JTwain (which relies on the JTwain.dll), the application dies IF AIR STARTED IT.[code]

for debugging I use trace commands to keep track of what happens, but this is super annoying when trying to run the application in the background as the output window keeps popping up thus obscuring everything else on the screen. Is there a way to prevent the output from popping up like that? Some setting in the publish menu or other?

Looking specifically how to make a screensaver the plays a new animation(MC) on a each day during an 18 day cycle, then starts over again.
I'm trying to imitate screensaver behavior using the timer class. A movie clip should play after 5 seconds of not being idle. The problem is everytime I go to the homepage, the timers stack and the adspace runs multiple times. (try switching between button 1 and 2 over and over) timer.reset(); doesn't seem to work for me.

I've been trying to create a screensaver that dynamically loads images and text from a server, but it seems like I am not able to load anything outside of my own computer at all.t seems like the problem is coming from the Security Sandbox, the sandbox type for the screensaver stays "Local_with_file" meaning it can access local files but cannot access files from the network. What can I do to make the Sandbox "Local_with_network" as I do not need to load anything locally, but images and text from a server.
View 1 RepliesI am making a fullscreen "screensaver" project (using screentime, FYI). I have some mcs on the stage that I want to scoot down to the bottom left, right or whatever on the screen. I want these elements to position themselves differently based on the users resolution and aspect ratio of their monitor. (for example: whether the monitor is 800x600, 4:3 OR 1366x768, 16:9, I want a text field or mc to be 10 pixels for the bottom and left of the screen).
